A Step-by-Step Guide to Transfer Domains Out Of GoDaddy

Follow these step-by-step directions to transfer all of your domains from GoDaddy to NameCheap.

I’m Boycotting GoDaddy because they are pro-SOPA.

Step 1: Login to GoDaddy and get to the domain manager.

Step 2: Select all domains

Step 3: Click on the “Locking Icon”

Step 4: Uncheck “lock domains”

Step 5: Find the tools tab —> “exportable lists”

Step 6: Click on “Add New Export” button

Step 7: Select “All My Domains” as the list type

Step 8: Check the “Authorization codes” box

Step 9: Generate the Exportable List

Step 10: Create account at another provider

I chose NameCheap (affiliate link). The rest of the images are specific to NameCheap.

EDIT: NameCheap is Against SOPA, here is their official stance.

People have also sent promo codes: “switch2nc” and “SOPAsucks” - try them too.

Step 11: Go to “transfer domain”

Step 12: Enter domains you wish to transfer & click “transfer”

**EDIT: You can simply add the domain, Auth code in Step 12 above**

ex: myURL.com, authorizationcode

**Thanks to Josh Pigford for the tip**

Step 13: Checkout

Step 14: Update EPP (Authorization code) code from GoDaddy Export File

Boom! There you go.

UPDATED: thanks to Jordan Skole, here is a way to expedite the transfer process.

Step 15: (Back at GoDaddy) Chose “Pending Transfers”

Step 16: Check all the domains (note: not all of the domains are not showing up yet, this takes a few hours apparently…)

Step 17: Check the “Accept” button and approve!

Step 18: Adios Godaddy!

Step 19: Transfer Complete (about 6 hours later)

Please do your part and help protect the Internet.

Excellent post on how to easily transfer your domain from GoDaddy to another registrar that isn’t pro-SOPA/pro-douchebag. This is my lunchtime project for today.

Suck it, GoDaddy.
